(email: [email protected]) Abstract Telenomus dilatus (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae), an egg parasitoid of swallow tail butterflies is described as new to science. The species has been reared on several occasions in the South Indian State of Kerala, from the eggs of three species of swallow tail butterflies-Troides minos, Pachliopta pandiyana and Pachliopta aristolochiae. T. dilatus sp. n. can be easily distinguished by its basal male antennal segments- A1, A4 and A5, which are extremely dilated. Digital images of the new species are provided and its affinities with closely resembling species are discussed. Keywords:Telenomus, India, swallowtail butterflies, egg parasitoid, new species. Introduction Telenomus Haliday of subfamily South Indian state of Kerala. T. dilatus sp. n. can Telenominae (Hymenoptera : Platygastridae) is a be easily distinguished by its basal male large cosmopolitan genus of egg parasitoids antennal segments, A1, A4 and A5, which are (Johnson, 1984). The hosts are mostly extremely dilated. Earlier Krishnamoorthy and Lepidoptera and Hemiptera, but they are also Singh (1986, 1988) and Veenakumari and known to attack Dipteran and Neuropteran eggs Prasanth 1984, Jalali and Singh, 1990 had (Johnson, 1984; Johnson and Bin, 1982). With reported Telenomus species from the eggs of more than 612 described species, this is the swallowtail butterflies in India. largest genus under Platygastridae (Austin et al. 2002).

New distributional records of twenty three species of Platygastrinae (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) are given, all reported for the first time from Poland: Gastrotrypes caudatus Brues, Leptacis coryphe BUHL, Platygaster betularia kieffer, P. damokles (BUHL), P. frater BUHL, P. germanica BUHL, P. gracilipes HUGGERT, P. microsculpturata BUHL, P. philinna walker, P. robiniae Buhl & Duso, P. signata (foerster), P. soederlundi BUHL, P. splendidula RUTHE, P. striatithorax BUHL, P. varicornis BUHL, Prosactogaster erdosi szelenyi, Synopeas convexum thomson, S. doczkali BUHL, S. fungorum BUHL, S. jasius (walker), S. noyesi BUHL, S. osaces (walker) and Trichacis pisis (walker). The new records increase the number of Platygastrinae known to occur in Poland to 124 species. KEY WORDS: Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea, Platygastridae, Platygastrinae; faunistics, new records, Poland. INTRODUCTION Since the synopsis of GarBarczyk (1997), who listed from Poland 56 species of Platygastrinae (i.e., Platygastridae excluding Scelionidae and Sceliotrachelidae, as accepted by most authors today), a substantial progress has been made in the faunistic study of this group of tiny parasitoid wasps. Two species, Synopeas bialowiezaensis BUHL, 2005 and Platygaster polonica Buhl & Jałoszyński, 2016a were described based on specimens known only from Poland, and Inostemma kaponeni BUHL, 2005 was described from Finland and Poland.

E. Smith), which is a major destructive agricultural pest. Currently, this parasitoid is reared on Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) eggs in several countries. However, previous studies carried out in China have reported that it cannot parasitize in C. cephalonica eggs. Meanwhile, those works have indicated that Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) can potentially be used as an alternative host. In order to evaluate this potential, our study compared the development and parasitism ability of T. remus on the eggs of S. frugiperda and S. litura at different temperatures in a laboratory. We found that S. litura eggs are more advantageous as an alternative host for the mass-rearing of parasitoid when compared with S. frugiperda eggs. Our results provide a more specific basis and reference for the large-scale Citation: Chen, W.; Li, Y.; Wang, M.; production and low temperature storage of T. remus. Mao, J.; Zhang, L.

FÖRSTER (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae) Peter Neerup BUHL Abstract FÖRSTER's types of Amblyaspis walkeri, Synopeas melampus, S. rigidicornis, S. prospectus, Sactogaster curvicauda, and S. subaequalis are redescribed. Synopeas melampus and S. rigidicornis are transferred back to Synopeas from Leptacis, placed there by H. J. VLUG in 1973. Sactogaster longicauda and 5. pisi are proposed as new synonyms for Sactogaster curvicauda. Synopeas melampus sensu KOZLOV is given the new name S. sculpturatus. Key words: Platygastridae, taxonomy, redescriptions, types, synonymies, new names. Introduction The platygastrid types of Arnold FÖRSTER, deposited in the „Naturhistorisches Museum" in Vienna, were designated and commented upon by VLUG (1973). However, FöRSTER's very short and ina- dequate original descriptions also make a redescription of his types necessary. Recently, the types belonging to genus Platygaster were redescribed by BUHL(1996). The remaining species described by FÖRSTER (1856, 1861 ) are revised below, except Monocrita affinis FÖRSTER, 1861, M. monheimi FÖRSTER, 1861 and Synopeas nigriscapis FÖRSTER, 1861.

November 2012 Three new species of Sceliotrachelinae (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea: Platygastridae) from South India K. VEENAKUMARI, Peter N. BUHL, K. RAJMOHANA & Prashanth MOHANRAJ Abstract Three new species of Sceliotrachelinae are added to the Indian fauna of Playgastridae, two species to the genus Fidiobia ASHMEAD and one to Plutomerus MASNER & HUGGERT. The latter is represented by just two species worldwide. The three new species F. virakthamati, F. nagarajae and P. veereshi are all described from South India. A key to the three known species of Plutomerus of the world is provided. Key words: Hymenoptera, Platygastridae, Sceliotrachelinae, Fidiobia, Plutomerus, South India. Zusammenfassung Aus den Gattungen Fidiobia ASHMEAD und Plutomerus MASNER & HUGGERT (Hymenoptera, Playgastridae, Sceliotrachelinae) konnten drei neue Arten aus Süd-Indien beschrieben und illustriert werden: Fidiobia virakthamati, Fidiobia nagarajae und Plutomerus veereshi. Ein Schlüssel zur Trennung der drei weltweit bekannten Arten der Gattung Plutomerus ergänzt die Arbeit. 469 © Entomofauna Ansfelden/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Introduction The subfamily Sceliotrachelinae, one of the five subfamilies of Platygastridae is represented by just four genera viz. Allotrapa, Amitus, Fidiobia and Plutomerus in India (MANI & MUKERJEE 1981; RAJMOHANA 2011). The genus Fidiobia is represented by twenty species worldwide (JOHNSON 2011). So far no species of Fidiobia have been described from India except for the brief description of an undescribed species of Fidiobia by MANI & SHARMA (1982). This description does not match with the two species described in this paper. Plutomerus, an Oriental genus is represented by just two species worldwide viz.

  • Advances in Taxonomy and Systematics of Platygastroidea (Hymenoptera)
    Advances in Taxonomy and Systematics of Platygastroidea (Hymenoptera) Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Charuwat Taekul, M.S. Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology ***** The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Norman F. Johnson, Advisor Dr. Johannes S. H. Klompen Dr. John V. Freudenstein Dr. Marymegan Daly Copyright by Charuwat Taekul 2012 ABSTRACT Wasps, Ants, Bees, and Sawflies one of the most familiar and important insects, are scientifically categorized in the order Hymenoptera. Parasitoid Hymenoptera display some of the most advanced biology of the order. Platygastroidea, one of the significant groups of parasitoid wasps, attacks host eggs more than 7 insect orders. Despite its success and importance, an understanding of this group is still unclear. I present here the world systematic revisions of two genera in Platygastroidea: Platyscelio Kieffer and Oxyteleia Kieffer, as well as introduce the first comprehensive molecular study of the most important subfamily in platygastroids as biological control benefit, Telenominae. For the systematic study of two Old World genera, I address the taxonomic history of the genus, identification key to species, as well as review the existing concepts and propose descriptive new species. Four new species of Platyscelio are discovered from South Africa, Western Australia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Four species are considered to be junior synonyms of P. pulchricornis. Fron nine valid species of Oxyteleia, the new species are discovered throughout Indo-Malayan and Australasian regions in total of twenty-seven species. The genus Merriwa Dodd, 1920 is considered to be a new synonym.

Bento Gonçalves, 7712, CEP 91540-000, Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil 3The Ohio State University, 1315 Kinnear Road, Columbus, OH, USA *[email protected] Received: April 16, 2018 – Accepted: June 29, 2018 – Distributed: February 28, 2020 (With 6 figures) Abstract Hymenopteran parasitoids are important biological control agents in agroecosystems, and their diversity can be increased with habitat heterogeneity. Thus, the purpose of the study is to evaluate the influence of distance of rice-growing areas from natural fragment, type of crop management (organic and conventional) and crop stages (vegetative and reproductive stages) on parasitoids family diversity. The work took place in two irrigated rice crops, one with organic management (O.M.) and another one with conventional management (C.M.), in the municipality of Nova Santa Rita, RS, Brazil, during the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons. The parasitoids were collected with Malaise trap arranged at different distances in relation to the native vegetation surrounding the rice crop in both places. Specimens were collected twice a month from seeding until the rice harvest.
